What is the best amount of time to leave a hoop net in the water for lobsters in southern Ca?

This is my second year lobster hoop netting in Ca. Any advice on how long I should leave the net and the best bait to use? I started using mackerel and leaving the net for 20 to 30 minutes but have not caught anything of size. Any advice is appreciated 🤗

    how much bait is left when you pull it up? if nearly gone then you waited too long. if still mostly there then not long enough. the size of the lobsters does not depend on the time it is there but is just luck. if you only get small ones try a different spot.

    good luck on your next trip.
